You know what? I think Omisyth said everything for me. I don’t want to bore myself typing this up, so I’ll just get straight to the point: this episode was boring. I found it lame, and yes, it did get better towards the end, but I just mostly found everything rather [...]

Since Ocha has released subs for the episode, I assume anyone reading this post has watched it and is savvy to what went on in Toshokan Sensou 11 (yes, spoilers ahead). biankita has a summary if you want one. A while back, biankita posted an observation spurred by her cousin about why Kasahara could possibly be [...]

I’ll be honest, I’m in no mood to blog Toshokan Sensou 11 now. And probably not at all until the next episode is released and pooh poohs all the worst-case scenarios bubbling in my head right now. Those who’ve watched the episode can probably guess why. I usually need a good 3 viewings to [...]

More romance. Despite how awesome this series is getting, I’m always reluctant to watch the next episode but forced myself to endure twenty minutes after reading Kabitzin’s thoughts on episode 10. It definitely was a good episode, but I’m still curious as to why the females of the Affairs Department were [...]

Summary: Ryusuke takes his forces to protect the Ibaraki Prefectural Exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. Although the MEC is sure to strike, Ibaraki’s Chief Librarian Sugawara has set up a bunch of strange hippy pacifist rules. Even worse, the defense force at Ibaraki base is really crappy, and so half of Ryusuke’s [...]

Summary: Iku is bugging out since realizing that Atsushi was her Prince Charming all along. This causes her to be very clumsy and shy around him, and the vicious cycle intensifies because Iku is sure that Atsushi must hate her now. Naturally, this odd behavior makes Atsushi think that Iku hates him, and so [...]

Yes, I don’t have Photoshop. Stop scoffing! As usual crack before the SRS BSNSS Enjoy… Once upon a time, long long ago, in a land Library far far away (somewhere in Mito, Ibaraki apparently) there lived a bunch of evul wbitches who’s sole purpose in life seems to be tormenting the lives of their fellow dormmates [...]

Toshokan Sensou, or to go by its neat translated title of Library Wars, is simultaneously lightweight fun, and thought provoking and serious. As I outlined in my last post regarding the Macross franchise, you don’t have to forgo brightness and humour to make a serious point; get the balance right and you can have it [...]

Unfortunately, I have completely forgotten what happened in this episode. All I remember is that Iku was pushing someone around in a wheelchair at the end of it and getting ambushed. I think it was alright, though. Move along folks, nothing to read here.

Ok, let's make this quick so I can finish this up before my office break ends. I downloaded this episode right when I woke up this morning just so I can watch it before our beach trip. Or else I'm gonna have to wait 3 days before I can do so! (With the speed of this post, I'm starting to think that I really work best under pressure lol) From the super fangurl episode 9, Toshokan Sensou moves to a more serious drama this time around. This is one of the rare few animes which can change its mood from funny quirky -> serious & dramatic -> sweet -> comedy really effectively. I laugh at the comedic parts, weep like a baby with the drama, giggle like a fangurl with the sweet stuff, it evokes quite a lot of emotions in a span of minutes, which leaves me like feeling like a lunatic!

Rabu rabu action! XD For the past eight episodes I’ve been forcing myself to watch Toshokan Sensou in hopes that it’d get better, and also because I had a gut feeling that it would (mostly because of issa-sa and usagijen’s love for it). I really [...]

Almost all my life I’ve been so used to pirating watching fansubs that I rarely bother buying the original DVDs. I have a decent job, but I don’t have enough monies to splurge an enormous amount of cash on these otaku goodies, especially DVDs. The only original DVDs I have in my “collection” are the first and final volume of La Corda d’ Oro (LOL), and Tokyo Marble Chocolate. My love for Toshokan Sensou outweighs these two animes by a mile, and I know for a fact that the Toshokan Sensou DVDs will be a worthy addition to my [small] collection, not simply because of the mini-short stories and other thingamabobs that will be included in each volume, but because of the wonderful anime itself. But again, the real question is, should I splurge cash and pledge my loyalty as a Toshokan Sensou fangurl fanatic by buying these DVDs, or not? Such a tough question.

Another reason why they never have Prince Charming in a dark horse package It is as though Lupus’ hate-filled entry about the suspension of logic and reality (which I do feel is like a Star Wars fan complaining that Princess Leia’s hand posture is 5 cm away from the appropriate position) has made Production IG realize [...]

Once upon a time, long long ago, there was a little princess, and she was very sad for her parents had died favourite novel had been taken away from her. Before the princess appeared a traveling prince riding upon wearing a white horseuniform. He had a regal bearing and a kind smile. The prince wrapped the [...]

If you're wondering why it's taking me soo damn long to finish my deep frying for episode 3, it's because of the usual reason of juggling with work, slowww-paced novel reading, bumming, etc. I also blame the anime for omitting a whole STORY CHUNK, with LOTS of censorship-related meaty stuff too. Here's a quick preview of what to expect in that next deep-frying installment
